Jet2.com - sightseeing trip?
Playing with my flightradar app last night @ 22:00 and noticed a Jet2 737 that departed Manchester, flew direct to shetland and then did a couple of figure of eights over shetland @ 33000 ft. I didn't stay awake long enough to see where it headed then, probably back to Manchester - I'm guessing it was training or some sort of testing - just curious why they headed up north and the reason for the strange manoeuvres over shetland? There was also some lightning storms over the islands last night - could that be related to the flight?
